Mandatory Voting

According to research, mandatory voting has been termed as effective and more efficient in cases where the elections conducted are significantly large (Krasa and Polborn 275). The advantage lies with the efficient use of resources, which would in turn reduce the costs incurred but not used in positively influencing the democratic process. Additionally, I would support mandatory voting because it reduces chances of people complaining about governance whereas they had the opportunity to alter the outcome of the election but never participated.
